I try never to judge an actress just by her looks, and with Zhou Xun I thankfully don't have to. Almost unearthly though her beauty sometimes is, she is also a mighty fine actress, and perfectly capable of bringing quirk or tragedy into a picture. That last bit may also be the reason why her movie characters generally have the life expectancy of Sean Bean's.
Anyway, once again I'm going to use seven close-ups of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images, and try to identify which seven movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun. Try to see how far you get without using IMDb!
I'll post the answers next Thursday (or earlier if someone gets all seven of them right).
And here she is as Zhang Hui in Women Who Flirt. Not sure if she is flirting here, but, to be honest, would she need to?
This shot doesn't count for the quiz yet, but all others do. So click the edge of the picture to browse through all images, and see how many you recognize!
